How is light attenuated when it passes through matter?

Product No: P1417201

Principle

In order to be able to set up in such a way that all the slides fit between the light sensor and the LED without having to shift the mounts, the 5 slides are first held between the light sensor and the tube on the LED and the mounts are pushed together accordingly.

Task

How id light attenuated when passing through substances? When light passes trough a substance or liquid the intensity is attenuated. This attenuation can be demonstrated by means of a light sensor. In this experiment the number of absorbing layers (grey filters) is modified and the light intensity is measured. Eventually you will develop a formula in this experiment for the reduction in intensity as a function of the thickness of the layer that the light passes through. Note: The variation in the number of grey filters can be interpreted as a variation in the thickness of a single body.
